In this farcical one-act play by J. Stirling Coyne, the protagonist, Mr. Green, arrives at the Hotel d'Angleterre in Dieppe with a mysterious Countess de Rambuteau whom he has been traveling with from Paris. However, things take a hilarious turn when it is revealed that the Countess is actually Green's wife, Mrs. Greenfinch, who has disguised herself to test her husband's fidelity. As men cannot be trusted according to Betsy, Mrs. Greenfinch's maid, she decides to put this plot into motion as Green has been acting strange since claiming an inheritance in Paris. This light-hearted play is a humorous exploration of relationships and the trust that underpins them.
